So we lose 5% chance to get a free Death Coil, lose the ability to target something else with that free Death Coil, AND it isn't guarenteed to be a crit. All so we don't have to press an extra button for people who need WoW to be as easy-mode as possible?

Originally people were saying how this was gunna be a nice buff, but it looks like a nerf to me.

Does anyone know if this is proc'd by the second hit from Hearth Strike?

Is the Death Coil launched automatically or do you need to cast it?

can the death coil from this proc the new unholy blight?

Comment by Misentro

Is it possible to proc 2 Death Coils, one for each HS hit, or is it based on the HS as a whole?

Nice to see this ability moved to the Unholy tree. What with Death coil being it's signature attack, it'll help with building up stacks of Shadow Infusion and for extra Runic Corruption procs.

Does it proc from a 2H weapon?

Since the Sudden Doom proc rate remains a mystery, I decided to take it upon myself to test it experimentally. Vicious Gladiator weapon (3.6 speed) auto-swung 100 times per trial on a dummy in Ebon Hold.

The reason I have so many more 2/3 tests is that I re-tested it a couple more times, after testing 3/3, since the gap between the two wasn't nearly as large as there was with 1/3 to 2/3. From what I found, I'll opt for 2/3 Sudden Doom (in PVP) as nearly 9 more procs per 100 swings is huge (9 DC*34 RP/DC = 306 RP extra per 100 swings).

What should be noted though is that the range of procs for 2/3 Sudden Doom is quite large. As the chance of proc is random, it's possible that the result can vary wildly. 3/3 on the other hand, while not as large as the upgrade from 1/3 to 2/3, has a fairly tight range. If anything 3/3 would probably be picked up (in pvp) for a more consistent Sudden Doom proc rate, but otherwise point for point 2/3 can't be beat.

I really wish the lazy blizzard employees would add the descriptions to the spells again...The spell descriptor for all the classes probably had his kid help him do his favorite classes & spells

I have followed the great idea of tyler2k and used SimCraft to determine Sudden Doom proc rate.

According to SC, whith a Unholy BiS T12 profile (avoiding the 2pt13 that can make false result) and 50000 iterations:
